About Me

I am a mother of two with 4 grandchildren, married to same wonderful man for 37yrs. I work Part-time as a nurse and paint whenever I can.
For many years I did numerous crafts and painting tshirts/sweatshirts as well as doodling now and then. I began drawing again in Nov '07 then started painting February '08.
I found that I am much more comfortable with Acrylics and Loving it!!

Commissioned Paintings

If there is anything you wish to have painted, even any of my artwork here that is unavailable which you like, It could be painted similarly. I love doing pet portraits, especialy those in memory, which hold so many memories of a beloved pet. All I would need is a photo which can be emailed.Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

~~~~~~~~~~ ~My Paintings~ All my Artwork are original paintings. Photos taken with my camera can be slightly different in color then in reality, which cannot be helped. I do try to get my colors as close as possible to those of the photos which I use as reference, especialy in Commissioned portraits, pet or human.Email- KMAP3156@aol.comThank you,Kathie
